most people would find it useless, especially in areas not near any other country (most of the US)
other courses would need to be dropped or the school year expanded (not happening). The cost would also be in acquiring and retaining the talent on top of books and other materials
taxpayers would balk at this as they would also find it useless in most cases (why does our local welder need to Welsh to weld?)
I am a huge fan of language learning and, if I had my way, would make all high school graduates take at least six months and live in some country very different to their own (including language) to get them out of the USAmerican bubble, but that certainly isn’t happening.
I’m working on language number 5 myself (more if you count the ones I just tried to get to basic greetings, yes/no, etc. in).
